38. The Omega’s mark
Eden's heart skipped a beat. He stared at Glen, mouth open in shock. When the dominant walked away that day, asking for forgiveness, he thought his fated mate had refused him definitively. The teenager felt his heart shatter into a billion pieces. Throughout his stay in the magic dimension, he had convinced himself that the refusal was because of the curse, thus maintaining the slim hope that his fated mate would agree to be bound to him if they found a way to break the curse. By asking Glen to mark him, the omega wanted to confirm that it was indeed his condition that the Alpha had refused to become his mate.
If so, he planned to convince him. For that, he had prepared a whole series of arguments to shake the will of the alpha. At no point did he foresee a scenario where Glen was putting his heart and his life in his hands.
